This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hello, I found a stitch to wear and came out tonight
Well, everybody looks at me like come kind of tramp
'Cause I, I wear these holy jeans
Well, heaven forbid and send an angel
'Cause I need somebody tonight, somebody tonight
Who'll take my hand, don't you let me go
I need somebody tonight, somebody tonight
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go
Where we gonna go at the end of the night?
I don't care and I don't mind
As long as you keep holding me tight
Every night all the boys and girls are busy saying alright
I know, I know your face but I've forgotten your name, again
I blame the alcohol that swims 'round my brain
I need a drink
Because I need some joy in my life, I need joy in my life
Won't you take my hand, don't you let me go
I need some joy in my life, some joy in my life
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go
Where we gonna go at the end of the night?
I don't care, I don't mind
As long as you keep holding me tight, tight
I've got your number, I'll call you up some time
And if you'd like to, say that you'll be mine
I would like to see you again sometime
I would like to see you again sometime
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
On me, on me, on me
Well, everybody looks at me like come kind of tramp
'Cause I, I wear these holy jeans
Well, heaven forbid and send an angel
'Cause I need somebody tonight, somebody tonight
Who'll take my hand, don't you let me go
I need somebody tonight, somebody tonight
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go
Where we gonna go at the end of the night?
I don't care and I don't mind
As long as you keep holding me tight
Every night all the boys and girls are busy saying alright
I know, I know your face but I've forgotten your name, again
I blame the alcohol that swims 'round my brain
I need a drink
Because I need some joy in my life, I need joy in my life
Won't you take my hand, don't you let me go
I need some joy in my life, some joy in my life
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go
Where we gonna go at the end of the night?
I don't care, I don't mind
As long as you keep holding me tight, tight
I've got your number, I'll call you up some time
And if you'd like to, say that you'll be mine
I would like to see you again sometime
I would like to see you again sometime
Well, I can't really dance
But baby won't you dance with me
And if you want to take your chance
Then baby take your chance on me
On me, on me, on me

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
